Right on re Blue Murder.  Second album is bad, but the first, except
for the occasional poor lyrics,is really good.  And don't forget the
fine rhythm  section.  They also played on the second album, and
apparently, John forgot the dirt Whitesnake did to him, 'cause he did
the same to Tony and Carmine--essentially imply that they weren't on
the album.  PS Tony plays on all the Gary Hoey material, not a bad
gtrst there either!
